D Day plus 27

We are pleased to report that we are making progress, accommodation booked and paid for, certified copies of vehicle registration papers done, tyres checked, forex ordered, first aid and essential drugs like malaria tablets, burn ointment, anti inflammatory tablets, antibiotic tablets etc.  and once I have checked my recovery box, we should be ready to roll except for last minute purchases of snacks and drinks.
